Legendary Sword God Sect - Chapter 97

(Do expect volume 3 to be much better as this would be a long arc filled with many ups and downs and…)

Nightin could feel his mind giving in to the temptation, he had heard about the benefits of joining the Evil force ever since that day back in the alchemist hall where he was tricked by one of them, he would never forget about the day where he truly experienced a battle against another human cultivator.

Nightin asked the Stallion rider in a hoarse voice “Why are you trying to serve under me all of a sudden… Shouldn’t you be taking my life immediately? What if I betray the Evil force all of a sudden?”

The Stallion rider Slowly got off his stallion, his right arm was clutching on his abdomen which suffered a heavy attack from the previous slash, black flames were burning on the other minor wounds as they started to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The power of immortality granted by the Evil Force, as long as one doesn’t lose their life force totally, one would be able to recover from it no matter how serious their wound is.

The Stallion rider chuckled “Do you think that you would still be alive if I have the slightest intentions to even take your life? I dropped that thought the moment you felt enchanted by the beauty of the Evil path.”

Nightin was puzzled and asked “Just what was that moment of trance I felt?”

The Stallion rider broke out in laughter and introduced himself “I’m one of the seventy two Demon Knights, they know me as the Infernal Stallion rider, you can just call me as Infernal if you wish to.”

Nightin hesitated and said “I’m sorry, but I won’t be turning my back on those disciples of mine. As long as the Nirvana sect I’ve created exist, I’ll stay with it throughout its growth, don’t ever expect me to give in.” He said this as his ragged breathing made it difficult for him to even speak, his body gradually picking itself up as he sat down on the ground.

Infernal didn’t persuade him any further, but said “You’ll regret it if you don’t join the Evil Force, you already meet the perfect conditions to contend for the position of the next Evil Lord from the moment you enter that moment of trance and appreciated its enchanting beauty, even I’m unable to fully understand it and can only see a world of darkness.”

I… I meet the perfect qualifications to be part of the Evil Force and even contend for the supreme position? No, I can’t give in to the temptation! There were two sides arguing in Nightin’s head right now, he didn’t know just what the correct path for him was.

“System, just what should I do right now?” Nightin could only turn to the system, it had always given him hope whenever he’s met with a path with no road.

“Host, do take note that I won’t interfere with the decisions you decided to make. I’ll however still assist you no matter what your decision may be, through the kind path of heaven or through the evil path of hell, it doesn’t matter for my only task is to assist you.” The system replied in a voice filled with emotions, but it was totally calm throughout.

“What would happen to the Nirvana sect if I leave them alone or bring them along?” Nightin needed the answers to this question desperately, the flames burning in his heart was telling him that it’s a must to be concerned about them.

“You’ll always be the sect master of the Nirvana sect.” The system replied in a calm once again.

Nightin turned towards Infernal and asked him “If I were to leave with you, just what would the Evil force do to the Nirvana sect if I don’t bring them along with me?”

Infernal face changed as he replied in a voice filled with slight emotions of helplessness “I afraid that I can’t answer that question of yours, you should know that the ambition of the Evil force is to conquer the whole world and make every living being our slaves. That’s all I can let you know, anything else beyond that is outside of my authority.”

Nightin followed up and questioned, his tone sharp enough for Infernal to feel afraid “What’s the purpose of doing that? To destroy the whole cultivation universe and even those mortals, what about those pure beings?”

Nightin wasn’t willing to back down at this point, the answers he had been seeking for were just within his reach.

“Haha Haha, I shall answer that question of yours.” The enchanting voice of a human male sounded off from behind Nightin.

When Nightin turned around, all he saw was a man with peerless beauty that rivals even those of those legendary beauties who only exists in those legends, he was wearing a crimson red robe and his scarlet hair was tied behind in a neat ponytail, on his right palm was a beautiful snake of a jade colour as it laid dormant there, seemingly asleep and harmless.

Nightin immediately used his soul detection and tried to see through Orochi, but it was all a futile effort as all he could see was searing flames blocking his vision as laughter flooded into his ears.

“Haha Haha… For the first time in so many years have someone tried to see through me.” Orochi laughed as his body swayed back and fro as he added on “I’m afraid that you aren’t qualified to know of my name yet.”

Infernal who was beside Nightin looked up in shock as he opened his mouth and said “Evil Lord Oro…”

“Shhhh, such a secret shouldn’t be divulged to the likes of mortals like him. Do you get me?” Orochi said in a carefree voice without causing any pressure on Infernal, but he was already breaking out in cold sweat.

Why? Because Orochi was well known for being able to kill without batting an eye, his hands have already been stained with the blood of too many to count, most of them not even knowing the reason for their death.

“Young lad, what’s your name?” Orochi questioned as he took out a exquisitely made fan to cover a part of his face, if any woman nearby were to see him right now, they might just flock into his embrace without the slightest fear.

Nightin could sense that Orochi was just too powerful, he was sure that Orochi holds the strength to destroy this realm, but he’s holding back due to any possible reason.

Nightin could only lower his head and answer politely “My name is Nightin, Evil Lord Orochi, may I know the reason now?”

Orochi responded as he nodded his head and said “Not bad, you know how to respect your senior at least, Haha Haha.”

“But, are you sure that you want to hear the true reason?” When Orochi mentioned this, a sharp glint flashed past his eyes, his voice turned solemn as flames started to surround his whole body, the fan he was holding expanded as he held it in hand standing among the flames.

“Yes.” Nightin could only bring out the courage to answer with one word before closing his mouth back up, just the unintentional flames from Orochi were already enough to make him feel death.
